In fact, as hinted earlier, the threads in our model exactly play the roles of legs in the tensor network models, and both are endowed with a Hilbert space. But the difference is that a leg in the latter refers to the quantum correlation on a local point, while our thread refers to the quantum correlation between a pair of points separated by some distance. It turns out that, this characteristic of qubit threads can intuitively describe an important concept in holographic tensor network models (especially MERA-like tensor networks), namely, \(disentangler\)  [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. The point is that the threads that define \({\gamma _R}\)  are merely those connecting \(R\)  to \(\bar{R}\) , therefore, the inner threads that represent the internal entanglement within \(R\)  do not contribute to the entanglement entropy of \(R\) . The former represents long range entanglement, and the latter represents short range entanglement.
